CAIR's Undue Foreign Influence

Why should we care about the activities of CAIR?

Watch this video:



In addition to this little snippet, we should also consider this piece of info.

If you tally up the numbers correctly, you will note that approximately 3/5 of the world's richest Arabs are from Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom is a large financier of CAIR and other organizations that hostile towards this country or are actively undermining it.

More than anything, I would like to know why the world's socialists are not trying to redistribute these people's wealth. These people employ very few and are not helping their Palestinian brothers and sisters, in their plight of poverty. Instead, they are blaming Israel and Jews around the world for the situation in Gaza.

The sad part about this ruse is, the world is falling for it.

Colts 34 - Jaguars 24

It's weird having the Colts playing for their lives so late in the season. As Greg said a couple of weeks ago, we are spoiled here in Indy.

I saw only the second half. But what I did see was a great effort by the offense, defense, and special teams. You have to have that balance to win games. They made some mistakes along the way but overall, they made the big plays when they needed to, with the biggest play at the end of the game on the onside kick.

Manning did not throw a pick. But there were some easy drops by the receivers. The defense stopped the run well enough to keep the Jags out of their rhythm. But they did blow some big pass coverages at times, which led to some big gains.

Still yet with all of the criticism and prognostications, it was a win. And we'll take it.

The Colts are still alive with a huge game next week at Oakland. If they win out, they are in the playoffs for the umpteenth time in a row. They may get knocked out in the first round, but they will be there with their practice team, making every effort.

So....what did you all see?

Another Blast From the Past

This weekend we feature a couple of my favorite secular Christmas songs from the Rock and Roll world.

Congrats go out to this first artist, as she has just been accepted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in beautiful Cleveland Ohio:



And then we have a song performed by a HOF band inducted in 2005, which was written by one of the original inductees:



Enjoy.

Couric vs. Rice: Condi Wins In A Blowout

From the opening question, it was never close:



Many years ago, I thought Katie Couric was one of the smartest, freshest, and cutest faces to hit the news scene. Now she is so embittered, it has definitely affected her ability to even do a simple interview without looking like she still belongs on MSNBC, with the likes of Herr Olbermann, Sgt. Schultz, and Chris "Mr. Tingle" Matthews.

How DID they ever let her get away?

The Tunnel Vision Of The Left

The National Organization for Women is fixated on Sarah Palin and the Mama Grizzly phenomenon, so much so that they cannot see out of their periphery. They have tunnel vision and nothing will allow them to turn their heads to look to their sides as long as she is part of the discourse. In fact, the new class of conservative women are all in the limelight and are now targets for all unprincipled Leftists.

They cannot resist demonizing Palin, Bachmann, and other women who hold conservative values, as if they alone are responsible for everything that curses the plight of the modern woman. They lambaste, they screech, they shill, and all the while they throw away what little credibility they may have ever had, when they ignore things like this:



Some ideologues on the Left will most certainly say that this really none of our business. They will claim it is men of this local community freely practicing their Islamic faith. Others will deny this is religiously motivated, but rather is permitted by the local customs, culture, and social mores of that particular society.

But most of us know that this is a staple of Sharia law, which is firmly entrenched in the Middle East and is becoming more prevalent in places across Europe. You will have a hard time convincing me that it does not happen in Dearborn, where a person cannot even hand out Christian tracts without attracting a police response.

So instead of petitioning the worthless UN for its useless influence in condemning this kind of practice throughout the Muslim world, NOW and the other worthless entities that ignore this disgusting display are worried about the Mama Grizzlies and their growing influence on American politics.

Is it really surprising?

Mon AM QB

I didn't see much football at all yesterday. I did see the dirty scumbag act by the Jets coach, after the network cut away from the thrashing the Pats were administering to the Bears.

My Super Bowls predictions are as follows: New England vs. Atlanta or New Orleans. Of course I could be wrong, so I would bet any house payments on this. And as always, my opinions are subject to change.

These are the teams that are peaking at the right time with complete performances on both sides of the ball, as well as special teams. Those are the kinds of teams that win titles.

So....what did you all see?

Another Blast From the Past

He was an American icon. He just one aspect of the human existence and a huge part of Americana.

Here, he pairs with another talented musician.... who wrote and played in this song:



Many times he looked troubled, many times he looked a bit sad. I think it stopped just short of what I would say, "tortured"..... but he looked like he never really forgave himself for his shortcomings and mistakes.

He really took it hard when the love of his life died and that's when he gave up. He quit. He quit taking his medication and allowed himself to die earlier than he should have, because he was so grief stricken.

One of his latest works was a remake of a Nine Inch Nails song called "Hurt". It was so dark and so sad that I won't post or link to it, you can look it up for yourself on You Tube if you are so inclined.

Musically, he was the kind of artist who could take any song by almost any other artist, and make it his own.... in his own special way. This one you will recognize from U2:



Enjoy.

There is an unwritten rule, whereby, vets of any given armed force will not divulge the intensity of basic training of that force, at least in its entirety. The recruit asks the vet, "how is it?" The vet answers "it's tough but you'll do fine." When the recruit gets there, he/she then realizes he/she was sandbagged by the vet, when the DIs are fully unleashed.

Many of you may not know this but as my hair and goatee gets grayer and whiter, I have been receiving flyers from Santa Claus recruiters to consider enlistment when I retire from my current career. I must say that I was thinking about it until I saw this:



I am not so sure I can hack this one. Ft. North Pole is way too cold for me.

Flat Or Fair Tax?

There is a debate between proponents of the Flat Tax and the Fair Tax.

The Flat Tax is a good idea and is better than the current system. But I think it is only the second best tax system we could have:



Under the Fair Tax, everyone will pay voluntarily when they buy goods and services. When the rich man buys his yacht, he'll pay it. No loopholes. When the illegal immigrant buys his beer, boom box, car, whatever, he will pay it. No dodging because his income goes unreported.
